The Daily Mail claims Antonio Conte met Roman Abramovich in Monaco earlier this month as Chelsea close in on their search for Jose Mourinho's long-term replacement. The Italy manager's contract expires at the end of Euro 2016.
Meanwhile, the Daily Express says Conte has told Chelsea he would like to bring Roma sporting director Walter Sabatini with him if he moves to Stamford Bridge in the summer.
The Sun says Manchester United are ready to appoint a new director to help under-fire chief Ed Woodward. The name in the frame is Peter Cowgill, the man behind the revival of the JD Sports empire and a lifelong United fan with strong connections in football.
Incoming Manchester City boss Pep Guardiola has wished Juventus midfielder Paul Pogba a long career - and hinted he would like to coach the most sought-after player in Europe, says the Daily Mirror.
The Times says referee Mark Clattenburg has been forced to sever ties with a football agency which also represents players amid concerns about a potential conflict of interest.
